A graduation ceremony at Westwood Regional High School in Bergen County, New Jersey, was marred by violence on Thursday as multiple fights broke out, leading to several injuries and one hospitalization. The Washington Township Police Department confirmed the incident.

According to the police report, the altercations occurred on the football field where the ceremony had just concluded. Despite the rapid response from on-scene officers to separate the parties and disperse the crowds, at least one individual was injured severely enough to require hospitalization, NJ reported.

Several others were treated on-site but declined further medical attention.
